To determine how far Marvin ends up from his starting point after walking four blocks north and making two right turns, we need to analyze his movements step-by-step.

Initially, Marvin walks four blocks north. At this point, he is directly four blocks north of his starting position.

Next, when he makes the first right turn, he will be facing east. After this turn, if he walks any distance, he would move eastward. However, in the scenario provided, it implies he doesn't walk further but rather completes the second right turn. With the second right turn, Marvin will face south.

Since Marvin has not moved in either the east or west direction after his initial walk north, he remains aligned directly above his starting point, four blocks north. Therefore, when he finishes his turns without additional movement, he is still just four blocks north of the original position.

To determine his final position relative to his starting point after those two right turns without any additional movement, it’s essential to consider that he hasn't moved east or west at all. Thus, Marvin ends up four blocks north of his starting point, which is not a provided answer.

However, if interpreting the options strictly, with no additional walking east or west factored into his total
